River Gate South Footbridge Improves Quality of Place

02/01/2018

Plymouth’s River Gate South housing
development has reached a major milestone with the installation of a pedestrian
bridge that will revitalize downtown. The new footbridge is a $300,000 capital
investment that crosses the Yellow River. It connects the upcoming River Gate
South apartments with River Park Square, beautifying the downtown and improving
walkability. On February 1st, residents and local officials gathered
to watch the installation. Building developer, Scott Sivan will be
dedicating the finished bridge to the City once River Gate South is complete,
allowing it to become a public asset.

River Gate South broke ground earlier this
summer after it was officially awarded funding through the Regional Cities
Initiative (RCI). River Gate South is expected to be completed and ready for
tenants by June 2018. Thanks to everyone who has contributed effort and funding
to bring this quality-of-place-enhancing project to life, including the City of
Plymouth, Plymouth Park & Recreation Department, Plymouth Board of Public
Works, NIPSCO, Van Vactor Farms, Scott Sivan, the Regional Development
Authority, and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.
